Market Basket customers loyal to ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas rallied at several Market Basket locations throughout the weekend. Meanwhile, the 71 grocery stores still have not received food shipments since warehouse workers walked off the job on Friday, July 18.

This comes on the heels of the largest rally yet in the eight-day-long Market Basket protest. On Friday some 10,000 supporters gathered at the Tewksbury location for what We Are Market Basket organizers hoped would be their final protest.

But WeAreMarketBasket.com released a new statement Saturday morning, saying:

“MB associates and customers remain fully committed to our cause. ATD must be reinstated with full authority as president of DSM. This has been and will continue to be non-negotiable. We also want to be clear in our message to any other potential buyer that we will work for no other CEO.”

The site is hosted by protest organizers who say Market Basket stores will not receive food shipments until Arthur T. is reinstated as CEO. Organizers are apparently not pacified by a recent press release from the Market Basket Board of Directors. The board says that they are considering a bid from Arthur T. to buy a majority of Market Basket stock, but reaffirmed their current co-CEOs, Felicia Thornton and James Gooch.

We Are Market Basket set up a fundraising page at GoFundMe.com to financially support Market Basket warehouse workers and truck drivers who are currently not working out of protest. The page has only been active for three days and already has raised $31,661 for the striking workers. We Are Market Basket hopes to raise $100,000.
